Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has publicly criticized Spiritbox’s new album ‘Tsunami Sea’ on X (formerly Twitter). He expanded the controversy by questioning Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes’ authenticity regarding the album’s support.
“Album is f—king unlistenable mixed horribly and song writing is terrible,” Radke stated. “Yall nominating that sh-t for a Grammy is unacceptable. Straight up f—king garbage. Gloves are off Oli Sykes is lying to all of you saying it’s good. I promise you none of these clowns are ever being honest to the fans. I’m tired of the lies.”
“I’m not even hating on Oli Sykes at all,” Radke continued in a follow-up post. “But most of you won’t remember a time when he used to talk hella sh*t to me and Andy Biersack over our eyeliner and the way we dressed. And now dudes got a whole new face and wears tons of makeup. Maybe he was just jealous.”
The controversy emerges during a period of heightened attention to Spiritbox’s new release and their growing influence in the metal scene.
